Ususally it's the woman who initiates the break-up so naturally men are gonna feel worse.
Between 64-72% of all break-ups that are initiated by women are the result of hypergamy. And roughly 1/2 of all women engage in patterns of behavior that are consistent with hypergamy.
Often times, the woman has the next male partner lined up before the breakup, so she's set for companionship and sex. If she doesn't, she will often have an easier time finding next. Fewer men are able to bounce like this.
It really depends on how in-demand the person is more so than the biological sex IMO. But I see validity in the research.
I mean being considerate whether to and how to break up with a guy.
Whats there to be considerate about?
When a woman breaks up with me, I'm not expecting any consolation prize. I expect it to be done emotionless, swift (to-the point) and quite frankly... cruel. Its not the end of the world.
OP, people struggle more after a breakup according to their psychological profiles, how they were raised, = whether they have less resilience than people who were raised with good emotional support, etc. etc. It doesn't go by gender.

^This. Joining the forum made me realise gender is irrelevant in breakup suffering

Oh, I don't think so. It's the exact opposite. Women are much more likely to leave a relationship without having anything else on the horizon. As has been discussed in this sub-forum before, women are much happier being alone than are men.
It is men who usually have person B (or C or D...) lined up before their current relationship ends. In the odd times they don't (ie. their partner dies), men usually jump into another relationship fairly quickly. I've known of men getting involved with another woman within weeks of their SO's death.

Me too and I was horrified at first. But studies have shown that men who were happily married are most prone to this.
Men's loss is more.... encompassing.... they (generally lose) the homemaker, lover, best friend, social planner.... the wife is somewhat of their everything when it comes to emotions (love, someone they can show the softer side to, physical touch), whereas women can get a lot of those needs filled by other women.
I found it very interesting.

Nope, in most of my previous relationships the guy ended it. Then they came back later and proposed marriage. I had already moved on. I think men are faster to end things and also regret it later. Women stick it out longer in relationships until we are fed up and then leave. Although that's a generality and doesn't apply to everyone or even most people.
